- a three-dimensional image, of the food product may be obtained.
- the tracking means 9 tracks the position or dimensions of the food product 2 in particular along the width of the transportation means 6, or the position or dimensions in the plane of projection and correlates the information with the core temperature measured by the temperature detection device 1 .
- the detection means 8 may comprise at least partially the same elements as the tracking means 9 and/or the detection means 8 may be configured such that it carries out the functions of the tracking means 9 as well, e.g. determining the dimensions of the food product along at least one direction (i.e. x, y and/or z direction).
- FIG 4 shows a schematic side view of a temperature detection device 1 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
- the temperature detection device 1 comprises an array antenna and an infra-red camera 3 which comprise a first detection area 100 and a second detection area 101 , respectively.
- the second detection area 101 may be larger than the first detection area 100.
- the second detection area 101 equals the first detection area.
- the infra-red camera 3 yields a highly resolved surface temperature distribution. By combining the surface temperature resolution of the infra-red camera 3 with the core temperature distribution of the array antenna, a precise, three-dimensional temperature distribution can be obtained. This is particularly helpful in case that the lateral resolution of the array antenna is low compared to the infra-red camera. Yet, if the lateral resolution of the array antenna or the combined lateral resolution of at least two array antennas is high enough, such an infra-red camera 3 may not be needed in order to obtain a well-resolved temperature distribution.
- the temperature detection device 1 is arranged above the food product 2 and the transportation means 6, it is preferred that the temperature detection device 1 is arranged below the transportation means. It may as well be arranged at any other position.
- FIG. 5 shows a schematic side view of the principle of an array antenna according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
- the temperature detection device 1 comprises a multitude of antennas or even a multitude of array antennas.
- the temperature detection device 1 comprises a directivity 200.
- the illustrated arrangement serves only for explanatory purposes.
- the array antenna or the temperature detection device is arranged below the food product and the transportation means.
- the isotropic microwave radiation being indicative of the core temperature of the food product 2 is only partially detected. As illustrated, only a portion of the radiation corresponds to received energy 201 , while the rest is lost energy 202.
- a reflector plate may be arranged beneath the transportation means 6, reflecting the microwave radiation.
- the directivity 200 determines which fraction of the total radiation emitted by the food product 2 corresponds to the received energy 201 and which fraction corresponds to the lost energy 202.
- the directivity 200 e.g. by adjusting the phase shifts of the antennas of an array antenna, the fraction of the received energy 201 may be varied, in particular the solid angle from which it is collected and/or the amount of received energy 201 .
- Figure 6 shows a schematic side view of a temperature detection device according to a further exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
- an array antenna comprises an open waveguide 13 of the leaky wave coupled type, which is arranged under the transportation means 6 and thus under the food product 2 being measured.
- the open waveguide 13 is here provided spirally and comprises e.g. a length of about 20 times the wavelength.
- the open waveguide 13 may function as an antenna of a array antenna or may constitute an array antenna of its own, e.g. with its waveguide loops 14 corresponding to the antennas of the array antenna.
- a reflector plate as discussed with reference to Figure 5 may be arranged above the food product 2.
- the open waveguide 13 may be connected to analyzing electronics via a coaxial cable 16.
- Figure 7 shows a cross-sectional detail of a temperature detection device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, in particular according to the embodiment discussed with reference to Figure 6.
- the open waveguide 13 guides a traveling electromagnetic wave 15.
- evanescent and/or leaky waves 17 radiate off the waveguide loops 14. Those leaky waves 17 decay exponentially with increasing distance from the opening.
- the open waveguide 13 and therefore the array antenna is arranged close enough to the food product 2, its microwave radiation can be sensed, i.e. the radiation interferes with the leaky waves 17.
- the resolution of the array antenna can be controlled.
- the directivity 200 can be controlled e.g. by varying the frequency/wavelength.
- Figures 8 to 10 show schematic top views of different embodiments of the
- a temperature detection device 1 (not depicted) comprises a multitude of first detection areas 100 such that the temperature detection device 1 may measure the core temperature of a food product 2,2' (not depicted) preferably substantially across the entire width of a transportation means 6, of which only a small region is shown.
- the temperature detection device 1 comprising a multitude of array antennas, each of which comprises a small focus, namely a first detection area 100.
- Each first detection area 100 comprises a high lateral resolution, e.g. in the x and y direction, as well as a high vertical resolution, e.g. in the z direction.
- the core temperature of a food product 2,2' may be measured substantially at any point along the width of the transportation means 6 with a high resolution in all spatial dimensions.
- an array antenna of the temperature detection device 1 comprises a relatively small focus, i.e. a first detection area 100. This detection area is scanned across a wider area, e.g. as illustrated here, it is scanned along the width of the transportation means 6.
- the core temperature is measured substantially along the entire width of the transportation means 6 as well, but e.g. only one array antenna is required.
- the scanning may be effectuated. Even though a one-dimensional scan along a direction parallel to the y- axis is shown here, other scanning paths are conceivable as well. For example, a meandering path might be possible, e.g. in case of a low velocity of the transportation means 6.
- the width of the transportation means 6 is relatively large, e.g. such that several food products 2,2' are placed substantially side by side, for guaranteeing that the core temperature of all food products 2,2' is measured, the velocity of the
- the directivity 200 of the array antenna may be adjusted such that the detection area equals a first detection area 100' as shown, i.e. comprising the shape of a thin stripe along the width of the transportation means 6.
- the core temperature of food products 2,2' distributed over the width of the transportation means 6 may be measured in one measurement. Yet, usually the lateral resolution will not be as high as in the embodiments described above.
- a multitude of array antennas may be used with at least partly overlapping first detection areas 100, thus creating a first detection area 100' as illustrated, but providing a certain redundancy and thus a higher resolution.
